[00:01.022]I used to want the city's roar
[00:06.467]I climbed the steps of one more floor
[00:11.867]I measured life in bigger deeds
[00:17.200]But never felt the simple needs
[00:21.933]Now I slow down and feel the ground
[00:27.400]I hear the birdsong all around
[00:32.789]I pick the peaches from the tree
[00:36.833]I'm glad the ordinary fits me
[00:40.322]The kettle hums a steady tune
[00:48.878]The basil basks in the afternoon
[00:54.767]I've put my striving on a shelf
[00:59.722]And learned to be my quiet self
[01:05.033]The kettle hums a steady tune
[01:10.400]The basil basks in the afternoon
[01:15.889]I'm not in a hurry to be seen
[01:19.933]I'm just a leaf in a quiet green
[01:26.589]Now I slow down and feel the ground
[01:32.056]I hear the birdsong all around
[01:37.456]I pick the peaches from the tree
[01:41.400]I'm glad the ordinary fits me
[01:45.444]The kettle hums a steady tune
[01:50.822]The basil basks in the afternoon
[01:56.333]I've put my striving on a shelf
[02:01.711]And learned to be my quiet self
[02:07.000]The kettle hums a steady tune
[02:12.378]The basil basks in the afternoon
[02:17.867]I'm not in a hurry to be seen
[02:21.889]I'm just a leaf in a quiet green
